Chapter 699: Heavy money to ward off evil spirits (monthly ticket)
In the corridor, the ninth elder brother urged the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother to go back to the study.
It's not lunch break yet, it's just a break from classes, so it's almost time.
The two were very obedient this time and went back to the study obediently.
Brother Jiu stood in the corridor, hesitated for a moment, and instead of going back to the second house, he went south.
After leaving Daqingmen and passing Qipan Street, he headed east.
Go to Qintian Prison.
Qintianjian Yamen is located between Honglu Temple and Imperial Hospital Yamen, at the southeast corner of Hubu Yamen.
The current prison guard at Qintian Prison is named Xu Risheng, a Portuguese.
Qin Tian Jian was originally a government office that observed astronomical phenomena and issued calendars. The stargazing techniques of Western missionaries are now more accurate.
Therefore, starting from the time of Emperor Shizu, all the Qin Tian Jian and Jian Zheng were appointed by Westerners.
Although Brother Jiu was wearing regular clothes, he had a yellow belt hanging around his waist.
As soon as he entered the Qintian Prison, a clever clerk reported to the prison.
Xu Risheng came out of the house and saw Brother Jiu. He smiled and said, "It turns out that His Highness is here."
He is in his fifties, has blond hair, blue eyes, and a big beard, but he is wearing Qing Dynasty patchwork clothes.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "If you have nothing to do, come over and take a walk. Where is Mu Jingyuan?"
Mu Jingyuan is a student of Xu Risheng and is also Portuguese.
Brother Jiu has been to Qintian Prison several times in his early years. He likes to look at those Western stargazing objects and learn Western languages.
His Latin and Latin teacher was Mu Jingyuan.
Xu Risheng said: "He is in the church, is Your Highness looking for him?"
Brother Jiu said: "If you don't want to look for me, I'll look for Deputy Supervisor Zhang..."
Deputy Supervisor Zhang is a Huoju Taoist and a descendant of Zhang Tianshi, who is good at doing good things, such as praying for blessings, eliminating disasters, seeking children, fortune telling, etc.
Before, Ninth Prince sent someone to choose an auspicious day, and the person in charge was Deputy Supervisor Zhang.
When the two passed by, Vice Supervisor Zhang was drawing a talisman.
He is in his forties, dressed as a Taoist priest, with a bun on his head, a green Taoist robe, and a beard. He looks a bit like a master.
After meeting Brother Ninth and Xu Risheng, Vice Supervisor Zhang put down his pen and held his hand in salute: "Your Highness, Your Excellency..."
Xu Risheng nodded in courtesy, said something to Brother Jiu, and left first.
Brother Jiu entered Deputy Supervisor Zhang's room and looked around without speaking in a hurry.
Every time I came to Qintian Prison before, I always followed a few foreigners and had no interest in Daozong disciples at all.
I feel a little regretful now.
If you study the "Book of Changes" earlier, you might be able to pray for blessings and choose good luck yourself.
But thinking about the obscurity of the "Book of Changes", Brother Jiu felt a headache again.
"But what was inappropriate about the previous auspicious day?" Deputy Supervisor Zhang asked.
The previous four auspicious days for relocation came from Deputy Supervisor Zhang.
Brother Jiu said: "No, it has been handed to the emperor. I came here this time to ask for advice on a private matter."
Brother Jiu said: "I heard that it is not suitable to move to another place if you have a heavy body, for fear of frightening the fetus god. Is there any way to solve it?"
Vice Supervisor Zhang thought for a while and said: "We need to choose auspicious times. The divine position of the fetal divination god on that day cannot be blocked..."
"The move must be completed before noon, which means Yangzheng..."
"Those who are reincarnated should stay away for the day and wait until the new house is settled properly before entering the house. Do not enter the house empty-handed. You can enter the house with gold objects in hand. Spend a lot of money to ward off evil spirits. The best is your wish..."
"To ensure safety, put the five elements and eight trigrams to protect the house and avoid the evil feng shui of the new house..."
"We can wear the Five Elements Bagua amulet to protect the nobles and the fetus. The Qi of the Five Elements will not be dispersed, move without chaos, and the soul will be stable, safe and auspicious..."
Brother Jiu listened carefully, took notes one by one, and finally said: "Can the auspicious day chosen earlier be used directly?"
Deputy Supervisor Zhang said hurriedly: "No, we have to pay attention to the right time, place, and people. It is more complicated than choosing auspiciousness for ordinary moving. It is best to match the birth date and the lunar calendar."
Brother Ninth asked: "What about the house-holding talisman and the amulet?"
Vice Supervisor Zhang said: "I can do my best on this..."
Brother Jiu asked: "What about the birth control charm? Do you want to prepare it too?"
Vice Supervisor Zhang said: "Your Highness, it is better to be careful and be prepared."
Brother Jiu said: "Then please trouble Mr. Zhang and help prepare one as soon as possible..."
Deputy Supervisor Zhang bowed and responded.
Brother Jiu then turned and left.
Let’s choose auspicious times again...
As soon as I left Qintian Prison, I saw the fourth elder brother and the tenth elder brother standing at the gate of the yamen.
The ninth elder brother bowed to the fourth elder brother and said: "Fourth elder brother..." and then said to the tenth elder brother: "This is repaying the gods with ears..."
The Zongren Mansion Yamen is also in this area, just north of the Hubu Yamen, separated from the Hubu Yamen by the Libu Yamen.
Brother Ten smiled and said, "Brother Ninth, isn't this a 'ban'? When it came out, some people were surprised, so they told my brother!"
The fourth elder brother also looked at the ninth elder brother angrily and said, "Isn't it because he forgot?"
Now that you have enough money, you feel better?
So idle all of a sudden.
Brother Jiu coughed slightly and moved his eyes away.
I really forgot.
He hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, I was just thinking about finding you. Isn't this just a coincidence..."
Fourth Brother raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to continue.
Brother Jiu was a little unable to speak, as he seemed to have asked the wrong person.
Concubine Wei and Concubine Zhang were granted the imperial title in the 28th year of Kangxi's reign, and Concubine Tong entered the palace in the 29th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi. At that time, the fourth elder brother was still a young elder brother and was not a prince who became a married man.
Whether it is necessary to prepare promotion gifts for concubines and concubines in the harem, I can only ask the eldest brother.
Brother Si saw his confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
The ninth elder brother said: "Isn't this Concubine Tong and Concubine Wei's mother moving to the palace? At that time, noble Guarjia will also move to the palace with her. When she enters the back hall of Changchun Palace, she has also prepared internal management to take over the population.
…”
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother realized that this was a noble man from Guarjia who wanted to become a concubine.
But what's so difficult about this?
What does the imperial father's harem have to do with these princes?
Brother Jiu then said: "Do I need to prepare this gift? How can I prepare it? There is no regulation for this. I wanted to ask the fourth brother... I just remembered that there should be no precedent for this, fourth brother. I don't know twenty-eight.
How did my sister-in-law prepare for that time..."
The tenth elder brother said from the side: "It's better not to ask the elder brother about this. It's not appropriate."
When the time comes, I will also mention the old events of Dafujin, so as not to make people feel uncomfortable again.
This married couple is also different from the married couple.
Not to mention the noble status of the eldest brother, it is common for ordinary men outside to renew their relationship after a hundred days after losing their first wife.
Like the eldest brother, who insists that he will succeed Fujin in three years, it is considered a love affair.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, don't ask. It would be more convenient to ask Thirteen to send someone to ask my concubine..."
The fourth elder brother glared at him and said: "Nonsense, how could you ask such questions?"
What Zhang Concubine did back then may not be the normal rule in the palace.
He muttered: "You don't need to ask about this blindly. With the pandemic, things will happen..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't worry about this."
No matter what the past examples were, as long as there are examples to follow now.
His ranking is determined here. The elder brother who is in front of him, whether he gives a gift or not, is not his turn to take the lead.
Seeing that the ninth elder brother didn't look like anything was wrong, the fourth elder brother went back to the household department.
The tenth elder brother refused to return to the clan mansion and went back to the palace with the ninth elder brother.
He lowered his voice and said, "Did the nobleman Guarja rise too quickly?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "What's so strange about this? Everyone knows that she is Khan Amma's new favorite..."
Left and right have nothing to do with them.
The tenth elder brother frowned and said: "In the years since Khan Ama ascended the throne, he has been very careful about the promotion of the harem. In these years, except for a few of his relatives, others have been promoted several times at a time. The only two exceptions are the concubines.
Mother and Concubine De’s mother..."
Speaking of qualifications, Concubine Yi, like Concubine De, was later than Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and others.
However, both of them have the tendency to come from behind.
Before Concubine Yi entered the palace, she had received grace, and she could bring a daughter from her family into the palace. This was already the treatment of a concubine.
The virtuous concubine was granted the title of concubine alone, and she also got a place when the fourth concubine was included.
Now there is another Gualga family.
Brother Jiu still disapproved and said: "So what, she is not the concubine of the Jin Dynasty. Even if she is promoted to the concubine, she will still be behind the empress."
The tenth elder brother said: "But if a prince is born, then our little eighteen will no longer be the youngest son!"
Brother Jiu said: "Without Guar Jiagui's life, there are other lives. Khan Amarongma's spirit, how can this girl be missing? If it's not, then it's not. Look at Fourteen, how he was spoiled before, these two
Only when you are new can you learn to be more polite..."
Seeing that the ninth elder brother was really not in a hurry, the tenth elder brother also let go of the matter.
That is to say, Ninth Brother is naive and thinks that the harem has nothing to do with princes like them.
But everyone can see that the favored nobleman Guarja still has an impact on the harem.
The most influential ones are Zhang Bin and Wang Guiren, followed by Yifei, a long-standing favorite concubine.
But Ninth Brother is right, Guarjia is just a concubine of Jin, not a noble concubine of Jin, so there is nothing to worry about.

The second room is the main room and the second room.
There are several brocade boxes placed on the kang, which contain golden Ruyi pieces that are half a foot long.
Because he knew that Guizhen Gege was engaged to the guard of Shu Mulu's family, Shu Shu asked someone to send a message to Shun'an Silver House to prepare the money as he wished.
At that time, I thought that the good news of Jiugege was coming soon, so I made two more pairs.
In addition to the ones prepared for Jiugege, she also kept a pair for herself.
It's golden and looks very cute.
Shu Shu feels that she is just a vulgar person, and she is willing to be more vulgar.
It’s a wishful gift. In addition to its weight, the craftsmanship is also exquisite. The hollow filigree makes it hard to bear to try.
The ones I keep for myself are much simpler in style and are just for fun, so they are more primitive.
When Brother Jiu came in, he saw Shu Shu holding Jin Ruyi and making gestures there.
Brother Jiu asked puzzledly: "What is this gesture?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's not about wishful thinking, it's about not asking for help. Let me see if I can really treat it as an itch..."
Brother Jiu also laughed and said: "You are stupid, who really uses this to scratch an itch, it's not enough to tire your arms..."
Shu Shu did feel a little heavy. This was a solid piece of gold Ruyi. It was not light, so she just laid it on the kang.
Brother Jiu thought of Deputy Supervisor Zhang's words and looked at Ruyi.
Spend a lot of money to ward off evil spirits, and your wishes are the best.
It's just right...
